Employees (Other) 10s Internal Osborne Do [5 days] Perhaps the dancer of that name, described in BD vol. 11, p. 120. This Osborne was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such.
House Servants (Other) 8s 4d Internal Browse Do [5 days] Browse was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Browse was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 7s 6d Internal Rabbitt Do [5 days] Rabbitt was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Rabbitt was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 8s 4d Internal Bayley Do [5 days] Bayley was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Bayley was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 8s 4d Internal Smith Do [5 days] Smith was not included in the season's performers' payroll, but it appears that inclusion there may have been partly or wholly determined by salary level, rather than by the performer/non-performer distinction as such. Thus Smith was probably, but not certainly, a house servant.
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal Driscol Do [5 days]
House Servants (Other) 10s Internal Mr Jarvis 5 days BD vol. 8, p. 139 suggests Jarvis was a housekeeper and pit officekeeper, and this may have been his salary in only one of those capacities.
Performers (Other) £77 1s 8d Internal [performers' payroll entries here aggregated] This payroll seems to have included a few people who were not performers, but most of them were. Moreover, the payment record of 10 May 1750 shows that it was conceived as the performers' list; and even the non-performers were perhaps more related to performance than most house servants were, such as John Stede the prompter.
Dressers £3 9s 2d Internal Women Dressers Do [5 days]
Tailoring £2 12s 2d Departmental Meares Taylor in full
Miscellaneous £42 3s 5d Departmental By the Nightly Charge
